Some shots in the dark:

-- "register" and "icon" might be reserved words? try renaming?

-- could those parentheses around (counter+1) somehow be messing
something up?

-- where is the variable "counter" set? if it's a global be sure to put
it before the function somewhere invoked with 
"var counter=..."

Those are my thoughts (though I'm just waking up)...
